In a back-and-forth battle against the Dallas Stars, the Kings ultimately fell 4-3 on the road on Wednesday night. The loss snapped their 10-game road point streak (8-0-2), which was one game shy of tying a franchise long 11 games, set back in 1974-95.
As for the game, the Kings opened the scoring 3:58 into the game when Trevor Moore created a turnover behind the stars net and fed Phillip Danault out front who then when bar-down for his 16th goal of the season. That goal moved Danault into second place on the team in goals scored this season. After the Kings surrendered a goal less than a minute into the second period the next two tallies in the game would come from the good guys, and specifically from the stick of Arthur Kaliyev. First, at the 8:54 mark, Kaliyev created a turnover in the defensive zone, marched down into the offensive zone and ripped a wristshot between the defenders legs to beat Stars goalie Jake Oettinger on the blocker side. Kaliyev then doubled the Kings lead with a howitzer of a one-timer on the power play five minutes later, giving the Kings a 3-1 lead. It marked Kaliyev's first career multiple goal game.
However, the Kings faltered in the remaining minutes of the second period, surrendering three goals in the last six minutes of the period. Adding insult to injury, the final two goals that the Stars scored both came in the final minute of the second period. After a six goal second period, the scoreboard showed nothing in the third and the kings fell 4-3.
Cal Petersen started in net for the Kings and stopped 39 of 43 Stars shots.
